Manchester actor Lauren Blackmore says her husband, Christopher, gives her £150 a month toward hair, nail and eyelash appointments. He began paying for her beauty treatments while they were engaged and continued the allowance after their May 2026 wedding, while she says she reciprocates with gifts and housework. Lauren views the arrangement as an expression of love rather than an anti-feminist financial dependence and has urged other women not to settle for less. Her TikTok post prompted mixed reactions, with some viewers criticizing the arrangement or calling the amount insufficient, while others praised couples for sharing resources and treating one another.

A Weimaraner attacked an 11‑month‑old girl in Ann Arbor, Michigan, tearing a section of her cheek and requiring emergency surgery with synthetic skin reconstruction. The child has undergone additional procedures and will retain a permanent scar. The dog, described as increasingly aggressive and fixated on the father, was euthanised. The mother urges families to remove pets showing signs of aggression to prevent similar incidents.
